Bay State gaming regulators don’t allow online sportsbooks to accept prop bets related to individual college athletes.
But one of the larger Massachusetts online sportsbooks accepted six figures’ worth of those bets. During the latest Massachusetts Gaming Commission meeting, regulators said BetMGM Massachusetts handled more than 15,000 NCAA college football player prop bets.
Representatives from the Investigations and Enforcement Bureau reported that more than $200,000 of improper wagers were accepted by the operator.
The commission referred the matter back to the bureau for an adjudicatory hearing. Individual sports betting violations against Fanatics and the BetMGM retail sportsbook at MGM Springfield were also referred back to the IEB for adjudicatory hearings.
